That\u2019s why we really recommend to use public transports and purchase a transport card. Wondering how to get it? It\u2019s pretty easy!<\/p>\n<h2><b>The procedure<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>There are two ways to make your transportation card.<\/p>\n<p>You can go directly to an office for an <b>Opencard<\/b> and you will take a form that you fill out directly in the offices.<\/p>\n<p>The second option is to go to the<a href=\"http:\/\/opencard.praha.eu\/jnp\/en\/how_to\/issue.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Opencard<\/a> website. The explanations are in English and you can print the form directly from the site.<\/p>\n<p>The main elements to get the card:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Application form (two copies)<\/li>\n<li>Consent to processing personal details (two copies)<\/li>\n<li>A photo ID 35x45mm that will be returned<\/li>\n<li>A passport or a valid identity card.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can go to the<a href=\"http:\/\/opencard.praha.eu\/jnp\/en\/contacts\/customer_centre_opencard_palac_adria.html?selectedPart=all_prague&amp;selectedAction=first_card_application&amp;showMap=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Customer Centre Opencard &#8211; Palac Adria<\/a> to print your card on the spot, but you can also find<a href=\"http:\/\/opencard.praha.eu\/jnp\/en\/contacts\/first_card_application.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> other centres<\/a> around the city. The cost for the card is 250CZK..<\/p>\n<p>Once the card is delivered, you can go to a metro station to add credit to it. You can choose the length of time, depending on your requirements: the longer period of time, the cheaper the ticket. Unfortunately, you cannot buy 6-9 months length for your transport card validity. If you are not sure how long your card is credited, you can find machines in most metro stations.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10530 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.foreigners.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/article-12-pic-1-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.foreigners.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/article-12-pic-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.foreigners.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/article-12-pic-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.foreigners.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/article-12-pic-1-520x693.jpg 520w, https:\/\/blog.foreigners.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/article-12-pic-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Other solutions<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>If you have friends who come to visit for the weekend and you don\u2019t want to buy tickets, you can purchase passes at most metro stations.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10531 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.foreigners.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/article-12-pic-2-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.foreigners.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/article-12-pic-2-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.foreigners.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/article-12-pic-2-520x260.jpg 520w, https:\/\/blog.foreigners.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/article-12-pic-2.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Opencard is valid for all public transport, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.foreigners.cz\/tramway-and-metro-in-prague\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tram, metro<\/a>, and bus, except the Airport Express.
